It seems Presidents seem to mess everything up but at least do one correct thing before they leave office. I guess since they can't be president anymore they actually do something for the country. Bill Clinton limited unemployment terms. George Bush is finishing the wall. Its about dang time! Even with all their faults, they do manage to do something correct...

Of course the producers of this documentary can show only people whos opinions reflect what they want. But the majority of people living on these border towns do not want this wall. They interviewed fisherman on the USA side who make their living fishing the big river that divides the countries. They took us the viewer for a ride on the river. The beauty was awesome. The next question is: Do we want to build a 20' wall to hide and cover up forever that natural beauty?

Anyway Im not so sure I want that fence anymore. Those people are right. We should not cover up natures beauty.

I know I know I know but how do we stop all the illegals swimming over the border...... well there many more answers to that question but I just wanted to show the side of those border towns who dont want the fence.

Besides........if there is a wall, all they have to do is fly into Canada and walk over that border which is the longest unprotected country border in the world. They can even take a boat and float around the wall. Or dig under it.

Will this wall work? Nothing bush does works..including himself.

What about that idea of the guard towers and high powered rifles? that wouldn't interfere with nature's beauty.

Of course, I mean the rifles with rubber bullets.

Ummmmm true. I have no answer for that. But I think I would rather have a guards tower every mile then a galvanized steel wall.

Ask any border patrol agent and they will tell you it is against the law for a citizen to transport them for any reason.
